In what I’ve seen, the best masons are on construction sites planning the work before hand. The inexperienced and newby masons mix mortar and carry bricks around. The top elder guys lead the prep work planing when and where stuff needs to be for what is being built. But once the machine starts mixing the cement all those guys do is lay bricks.
They don’t shovel, they don’t mix mortar, they don’t carry materials. Just laying brick after brick until they run out of materials or the construction is done. It’s quite mesmerizing to see a good contractor working efficiently, rare but fascinating.
I wouldn’t trust an architect even with making mortar(or a sound building design to begin with), but I would expect a top developer to be able to code.
Well, if you are a top developer, you don’t write lines of code. You leave this to your underlings.
On a building site, the architect is not laying bricks, either.
Okay but your best masons are. Architects and developers are different.
